MONTREAT BULLETIN
Published Nine Times a Year — January, February, March, April,
May, June, August, October and November, by the Mountain
Retreat Association, Montreat, N. C.
Volume VIII APRIL, 1955 Number 4
Entered as Second-Class Matter, Feb. 21, 1948, at the Post Office
at Montreat, N. C, under the Act of Congress, Aug. 24, 1912.
THE LEGAL TITLE OF THE INSTITUTION IS
"MONTREAT COLLEGE, INC."
THIS TITLE SHOULD BE USED WHEN YOU INCLUDE THE COLLEGE
AS A BENEFICIARY IN YOUR WILL
FORM OF BEQUEST
Since each State has special statutory regulations in regard
to wills, it is most important that all testamentary papers be
signed, witnessed and executed according to the laws of the State
in which the testator resides. In all cases, however, the legal
name of the corporation must be accurately given, as in the fol-
lowing form:
"I give and bequeath , to
Montreat College, Incorporated, at Montreat, North Carolina, and
to their successors and assigns forever, for the uses and purposes
of said School, according to the provisions of its charter."
All legacies to Montreat College are exempt from Inheritance
Tax. In some cases where large sums are involved, a legacy to
Montreat College would bring the total Inheritance Tax into a
lower bracket and would reduce Inheritance Tax as a whole.
Montreat College urgently needs an Endowment, and money for
Christian education cannot be spent to better advantage than for
the benefit of this institution.

10 MONTREAT COLLEGE
THE PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE
Montreat's four year college is striving to attain the
highest in Christian character and cultural development.
It was founded as a part of the religious and educational
program of the Mountain Retreat Association, which is
a declaration of trust held for the Presbyterian Church in
the United States. From the beginning the Bible has
been in its curriculum, and the knowledge of its truths
and duties has been a requirement for graduation. The Col-
lege has always given prominence to the Christian religion.
Montreat believes that one must be familiar with the great
truths of the Bible; that life must be understood in its right
relationship to Jesus Christ before one can be considered
properly educated; that only a society dominated by Chris-
tian principles is worthy of claiming only the best loyalties
of strong men and women; and that Christianity is the only
force that will inspire and strengthen us to accomplish the
highest in education and to achieve the best in life. Montreat
would have every student coming under its influence to de-
velop alert and well-disciplined minds, and to grow in the
likeness of Him who is "the way, the truth and the life."
Montreat would announce three distinctive major poli-
cies: First, a program that is Bible centered, Christ cen-
tered, and Church centered, with sound academic standards;
second, a full social-recreational program; third, low expense
rates to students.
The only officers and instructors appointed are to be
those who give positive evidence that they have a sincere
Christian faith expressed in Christ-like living and are ac-
tively related to some evangelical Church. The trustees and
officers of Montreat realize that the strength of its Christian
training and influence is determined most by the belief,
character, purposes, ability, and activity of its faculty and
other staff members. Hence, its faculty must be composed
of men and women who are concerned with the moral and
spiritual, as well as the intellectual, development of the stu-
dent.
THE COLLEGE 11
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
In the summer of 1913 the Mountain Retreat Association
authorized the President to offer the use of the Montreat
grounds and buildings to the General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church, U. S., to be used during the winter season
for school purposes.
In May, 1914, the General Assembly, meeting in Kansas
City, Missouri, appointed a large committee to take under
consideration the nature and character of the school to be
established. Recommendation was made by this committee
to the General Assembly in session in Newport News, Vir-
ginia, May, 1915, that the Mountain Retreat Association
property could be used for a Normal School. The Assembly
referred the establishment of the school to its several com-
ponent Synods. The Synods of Appalachia, Georgia, Ala-
bama, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia appointed
Trustees for the purpose of opening the proposed school.
These Trustees convened on May 2, 1916, in Montreat,
North Carolina. Rev. R. F. Campbell, D.D., was elected
Chairman of the Board; Rev. W. T. Thompson, Jr., Secre-
tary; and Mr. T. S. Morrison, Treasurer.
In October, 1916, the school opened its first session with
eight pupils. At this time the school was under the control
of the Board of Trustees as appointed by the above-men-
tioned Synods. In 1931 (by unanimous vote of the Board
of Trustees and of the Board of Directors of the Mountain
Retreat Association) the charter of the College was amended
so as to have the Board of Directors of the Mountain Re-
treat Association appoint the college Trustees.
In 1933, Montreat Normal School was reorganized as
Monreat Junior College. At this time special emphasis was
placed upon the growth of the College.
On Tuesday, April 3, 1945, at a meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Montreat College, it was unanimously agreed
to make Montreat a four-year college. The junior year was
added in September, 1945, and the senior year was added in
September, 1946.
12 MONTREAT COLLEGE
AFFILIATION
Montreat College is a member of the North Carolina
Conference of Church-related Colleges, The North Carolina
College Conference, and the Presbyterian Educational As-
sociation of the South.
SUMMER CONFERENCES
Approximately 30,000 people visit Montreat during the
summer season. These conferences afford opportunities for
the students who work at Montreat in the summer to be-
come acquainted with the leaders and activities of the
Church and to hear the finest speakers, lecturers, and
preachers of the world.
THE LOCATION
Montreat College is located at Montreat, North Caro-
lina. Situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it
is one of the most picturesque spots in America. Montreat
is the home of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., almost ex-
actly in the center of the population of the Church. Its
health conditions and its climate are unexcelled. Montreat
is near enough to Asheville to have all the advantages of
the city when desired, and at the same time it has the
quiet protection, seclusion, and grandeur of the mountains
unspoiled by modern commerce.
CAMPUS
Montreat College has a beautiful campus extending over
many acres and comprising a landscape of rare beauty, in
the center of which is Lake Susan. Mountain tops attract
groups of hikers; rhododendron-bordered streams entice pic-
nic groups; while the Auditorium lawn with its beautiful
shrubs forms a charming setting for the May Day festivities.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
The buildings of Montreat are unique and beautiful,
being of native stone on the exterior and colorful mica-flint,
granite, and sandstone on the interior. The floors are varie-
gated marble.
THE COLLEGE 13
Gaither Hall is the College Administration Building.
Besides the administration offices, it has classrooms, a library,
science laboratories, and an especially beautiful chapel. This
building is a gift made by Mrs. R. C. Anderson to the Col-
lege in the year 1935.
Libraries. Through the resources of the two libraries on
the campus, Montreat College Library and The Historical
Foundation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches,
the students of Montreat College have access to more than
fifty thousand volumes of books and a representative collec-
tion of current periodicals.
Montreat College Library is located in the south
wing of Gaither Hall. The collection contains approx-
imately fifteen thousand volumes and is administered by a
professionally trained librarian and a capable staff of library
assistants. The reading room is one of the most pleasant
places on the campus for relaxation, reflection and study.
The Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and
Reformed Churches, which is owned and operated by the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.,
moved into a lovely new building in the summer of 1954.
The collection of this library numbers thirty-seven thousand
five hundred volumes and twenty-five thousand pamphlets.
The collection in addition to its excellent resources in the
fields of religion and church history is strong in encyclopedic,
bibliographic and biographic materials. It also contains
much material in the field of state, national and European
history.
Assembly Inn is open the year round. The students
and faculty have meals there, and the College frequently
has its formal banquets, receptions, and parties in the Inn
dining room. A number of the faculty members have rooms
at the Inn. Parents and other guests will find comfortable
accommodations there. The Inn is most unusual and at-
tractive in construction.
14 MONTREAT COLLEGE
The Auditorium has fifteen classrooms, four practice
rooms and a chapel in addition to the large assembly room
which seats 3,500 people and is used mainly for the summer
conference program.
The College Infirmary is an attractive stone building.
It has fourteen rooms and three baths and can accommodate
forty people.
The Crosby Adams Fine Arts Building was purchased
in December of 1948. It is an attractive eighteen-room
structure. This building houses the Music and Art Depart-
ments, and the Minnie Cooper Wall Memorial Art Gallery,
and the Adams Memorial Studio Museum.
Howerton Hall is the newest and largest of the dor-
mitories. The living room is spacious and attractive. Each
bedroom has a private or adjoining bath, and there is a large
and well-equipped recreation room.
The World Fellowship Building, constructed in 1937,
was made possible by the Birthday Gift of the Woman's
Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. This building
is used as a dormitory for girls during the school term and
for the women attending the Montreat Conferences during
the summer season.
Lookout Lodge is a small dormitory which can accom-
modate thirty-six students. It is at a distance of about one
city block from Gaither Hall.
College Hall is an attractive dormitory which can
accommodate over a hundred students.
Physical Education Facilities. The spacious and
well-lighted cafeteria wing of Howerton Hall is used for
some of the Physical Education classes. In addition to this
there are outdoor tennis courts and a soccer and baseball
field. Lake Susan provides an opportunity in the early fall
and late spring for swimming and boating. The Young
People's Recreation Building is used for many social and
recreational purposes.
15
CAMPUS LIFE
RELIGIOUS LIFE
It is the desire of the College to create such a Christian
atmosphere in all phases of college life as will be conducive
to the continuous Christian growth of the individual.
Bible courses form an essential part of the curriculum.
Regular attendance at Sunday services and daily chapel is
required.
Several student religious groups help develop the spir-
itual growth of the girls — the Student Christian Association,
the Life Service Group, and the Prayer Bands. The par-
ticipation of all students in some religious activity is en-
couraged.
DORMITORY LIFE
A Dean of Students, who advises the Cabinet of The
Student Government Association, supervises all phases of
the dormitory and campus life of the students. All per-
missions of a special nature are granted by her or the
House Counselors, and other permissions are handled through
the regular channels of the Student Government.
In each dormitory there is a House Counselor to whom
the students may go for advice and help.
The rooms in each dormitory are comfortably furnished.
A list of personal articles which the student will need to
supply for her own room will be sent to her in the early
summer following registration.
Each student is to keep her own room clean and in
order and is held responsible for the care and preservation
of it. All damage to furniture or buildings will be repaired
at the expense of students responsible for such damage.
Each dormitory has a large living room where the stu-
dents gather for recreation and house meetings. In addi-
tion, each dormitory has a date room and kitchen facilities
for informal student parties. No electric fixtures or appli-
ances of any kind may be used except with permission and
in places designated.
In Howerton Hall, there is a large Recreation Room
equipped with piano, games, and ping-pong tables. All
16 MONTREAT COLLEGE
students use its facilities, and various social activities are
held here from time to time.
SOCIAL LIFE
The social life of the College centers in part around the
student organizations. Departmental clubs, class organiza-
tions, the Athletic Association, the Dramatic Club, etc.
provide varied activities, but, in addition, the school as a
whole sponsors parties, outings, and programs throughout
the year. In the fall and in the spring, special week ends with
picnics and parties are planned for dates from neighboring
colleges, but every week end is acceptable for dates if the
student desires.
The Thanksgiving Banquet, the Christmas Party, the
February Favorites Costume Party, the Junior-Senior Ban-
quet, and the May Day Festival are special features, as are
the music recitals and receptions at intervals during the year.
Asheville is close enough for shopping excursions and
for the Civic Music Concerts and the Asheville Community
Theater plays. Also, Black Mountain and Asheville are
available for movies.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Publications
The Sun Dial, which is the College annual, is issued
in May. It is edited and published by a staff elected from
the student body.
The Dialette is a monthly paper edited and published
by the students.
The Student Handbook is published once a year. This
contains information needed by the student. After a student
has made formal application for admission to the College
and has been accepted, a copy of the Handbook is sent to
her. This booklet is published by the Cabinet of the Student
Government Association with the assistance of the Deans.

CAMPUS LIFE 17
Student Government Association
Upon matriculation, all students become members of the
Student Government Association. The regulations govern-
ing the social life of the school are made by the Student Cab-
inet and the Dean of Students. As much freedom to the in-
dividual is given as is compatible with high standards in
work and conduct. The purpose of this plan is to build char-
acter through activity, establishing the habit of co-operation
and self-control.
Student Christian Association
The Student Christian Association is a student organiza-
tion for the purpose of enriching the spiritual life of the stu-
dent and developing Christian leadership. All college stu-
dents are members of this group.
The programs place emphasis on stimulating and wor-
shipful Sunday evening vesper services and foster interest in
all phases of the work of the Church, thus affording oppor-
tunity to each student for experience in planning and partici-
pating in group study and worship.
The Life Service Group
The Life Service Group is composed of students who are
definitely considering service in Home or Foreign Missions
or in some other field of full-time Christian work. The pres-
ence of missionaries, retired or on furlough, who live within
the Montreat Grounds, enables the Group to have many in-
spirational speakers.
The Athletic Association
The College Athletic Association is a student organiza-
tion which, together with the Faculty Committee on Ath-
letics, controls the athletic activities of the College. The
purpose of this organization is to create interest, to develop
physical efficiency, and to encourage wholesome play and
sportsmanship in all recreational activities such as soccer,
basketball, baseball, volleyball, hiking, tennis, and individual
recreational sports.

intercollegiate organization formed for the purpose of stim-
ulating an understanding on the campus of the aims, scope,
and functions of the United Nations, and to encourage inter-
est in international affairs.
French Club
Being conscious of the fact that America, as a leading
nation of the world, will need in the future many citizens
who speak foreign languages, the members of the French
Club believe that by studying French they can cultivate
better understanding between our citizens and those of
France. All who take French or who wish to improve their
French conversation are welcomed as members.
Kappa Pi Beta
Kappa Pi Beta is the college literary club, membership
in which is granted upon presentation and approval of some
original story, poem, or essay. The object of this organiza-

CAMPUS LIFE 19
standing of the Latin American people and their culture is
gained through the medium of Spanish plays, games, and
native folk songs and dances.
The Thalians
Students interested in acting and stage technique will
be given an opportunity to join the Thalians. Through
discussions of the history of the theater, and the use of
drama in the church and school, and through the presenta-
tion of various plays during the year, valuable experience
and knowledge is given the student.
PERSONAL COUNSELING PROGRAM
A Personal Counseling Program centering in the office
of the Dean of Students and working closely with an Aca-
demic Counseling plan is designed to aid students in adjust-
ment to all phases of college life and to promote normal
growth through the fourfold ideal of mental, physical, social,
and spiritual development. Emphasis is also given to the
student's choice of a vocation and preparation for home life.
HEALTH
When a student makes application for entrance, she is
given a Health Blank which must be filled in by her physi-
cian and mailed by him to the Registrar's Office. The
School Nurse keeps this questionnaire on file. In case of
prolonged or special professional service, the expense must
be paid by the parent or guardian. The Infirmary is under
the direction of a registered nurse who works under the
supervision of several doctors who are associated with the
College and who are on call at all times.
When students are not well enough to go to the dining
room, attend classes, or carry out their work assignments,
they must report to the nurse.
20 MONTREAT COLLEGE
The Infirmary is open for emergencies at any time, but
students are requested to observe daily clinic hours whenever
possible.
Ordinary and minor illnesses are taken care of in the
Infirmary. When special hospitalization is necessary, stu-
dents are sent to Asheville and put under the care of leading
physicians there. It is our custom to notify parents as soon
as possible when this is necessary.

GENERAL INFORMATION
COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS
The Montreal College Catalogue contains general in-
formation regarding the development and growth of Mon-
treat College, together with official announcements. The
Montreat College View Book contains views of the campus
and buildings, and snapshots of the girls. Copies of both of
these are sent free upon request.
ROOM RESERVATION
Students in residence may submit selection of room to
Dean of Students before May 1 and the choice will be ac-
cepted when possible. After May 1, rooms will be assigned
in order of application of old and new students alike.
A deposit of $10 is required of each student and should
be made at the time of reservation. This regular room de-
posit is applied on the first semester's expenses. If the stu-
dent wishes to reserve a room alone, a fee of an additional
$50 is required.
The money for room reservations is not refunded in case
the student fails to attend Montreat College, unless the re-
quest for the refund is made before August 1.
HOW TO REACH MONTREAT
The nearest railroad station is Black Mountain, on the
Southern Railway. Get your route as if coming to Asheville,
North Carolina, but buy your ticket to Black Mountain,
sixteen miles east of Asheville. Black Mountain is easily
reached by bus. From Black Mountain there are several
taxi companies which will bring you to Montreat at a cost
of 50 cents for each passenger.
MAIL AND BAGGAGE
All mail should be addressed to the students at Montreat
College, Montreat, North Carolina. The student calls for
her mail at the college post office. Express packages must
be sent to Montreat College via Black Mountain. The stu-
22 MONTREAT COLLEGE
dent must arrange through the college office for the delivery
of packages from Black Mountain.
Trunks and other baggage will be delivered by the
transfer men at a cost of 75 cents.
NOTE TO PARENTS
When a student registers, it is understood that she
agrees to abide by the College regulations. The regulations
have been made largely by the students themselves through
the Student Government Association and have come into
being because of evident needs for the well-being of the
students. There is an effort to take care of the transition
period from the time that the student leaves the shelter of
the home and supervision of her parents until the time when
she has matured enough to take her own independent place
in the world.
Students may have "General Permission" if it is the
wish of their parents or guardians. This must be in writing
and must be sent directly from the parent or guardian to the
office of the Dean of Students. Such permission includes
receiving callers, riding with friends if a mature person is in
the group, having dates, accepting invitations to lunch or
dinner, and participating in any group activity or trip per-
mitted by the College authorities. The Dean of Students re-
serves the right, however, to withhold any permission if cir-
cumstances arise which make the permission unwise.
The College reserves the right to ask the withdrawal of
any student whose influence is harmful or who is out of har-
mony with the spirit of the school.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Expenses
Fees paid by the students cover only a part of their instruction
and of the operations of the College. Income from endowment
and contributions from churches, through their various organiza-

balance.
Montreat College is organized and operated on the basis of
a full scholastic year as a unit. Therefore all charges listed below
are for the full scholastic year and are due and payable in advance,
but, for the convenience of students, charges may be paid as
listed on the following pages. It is necessary that all bills be paid
on dates specified.
All students are expected to matriculate for the full scholastic
year and must not expect any fees or charges to be remitted on
account of irregularity of attendance or change in plans except
in cases of serious illness where the college physician advises them
to return home.
All checks and money orders should be made payable to

BOOKSTORE
The Montreat College Bookstore is maintained by the College
for the convenience of the students. All school supplies may be
obtained here. In addition to school supplies the Bookstore also
carries a large line of toilet articles and personal supplies.
26 MONTREAT COLLEGE
The Bookstore is run on a strictly cash basis. Student Bank
checks are acceptable. Students are expected to pay for books
and supplies when purchased. For those who wish to leave money
with students, or in the Student Bank for supplies and books to
be purchased at the beginning of the semester, the general estimate
of the amount needed is $25.00. Second semester, $15.00.
LAUNDRY
Laundry and dry cleaning may be sent out to a commercial
laundry through one of the work scholarship students.
Ironing rooms in the dormitories are available for students'
use. The College provides a washing machine and drier which
may be used for a nominal fee.
Students may bring their own irons but must use them only in
the ironing rooms.
STUDENT BANK
The College has what is known as the Student Bank. Parents
may deposit to their daughter's account any amount of money.
All checks sent for this purpose must be made out to the student.
The office is open at stated times each day but Sunday for stu-
dents to deposit and withdraw money. There is no additional
cost for this service. It is for the convenience of the students
and parents. It is highly recommended that the student use this
means of banking for it teaches banking routines such as how to
write a check and to deposit and record money transactions. We
believe the banking habit to be important. The College cannot be
responsible for money or valuables kept in the students' rooms.
The College authorities do not permit students to write checks
against a parent's account in the home bank unless approval of
the parent is filed in the Student Bank. The College does not
accept responsibility in connection with any violation of this regu-
lation.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES AND ALLOWANCES
The College strongly advises parents to give their daughters
a monthly allowance. Additional funds should be provided at the
opening of school for books and supplies. The College is inter-
ested in co-operating with the parents in limiting incidental ex-
penses and in giving the students some knowledge of what consti-
tutes wise expenditure.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Although Montreat College is not highly endowed, the College
does have a number of scholarships for students who are especially
FINANCIAL INFORMATION 17
well qualified and have a genuine financial need. There are four
types of scholarships that are granted by the College:
I. ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP. High school graduates
who ranked in the first four of their graduating class academic-
ally and who qualify in character and personality may be awarded
a four hundred dollar academic scholarship. The scholarship pro-
vides for one hundred dollars to be credited toward payment of
the college charges for the student each year. In order to continue
to receive the award the student must maintain a high academic
average and share satisfactorily in college life.
II. MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP. The College offers a num-
ber of music scholarships based upon the student's aptitude and
ability in music, her seriousness of purpose, and her financial
needs. In order to qualify for one of these scholarships a student
must have an audition before members of the music department,
and be approved by the music department. These scholarships
provide free music lessons of one hour per week in one field and
a half hour of free lessons in another field. That is, a student may
take, for example, one hour of voice lessons and one half hour of
piano lessons without charge. These scholarships are renewable
each year provided the student has made satisfactory progress in
her music and academic work, and in her adjustment to college life.
III. LEADERSHIP AWARD. The College has a number
of leadership awards granted on the basis of special talent, unusual
leadership ability, character and personality. These are usually of
$100 per year and are renewable provided the student's academic
work and college life are satisfactory.
IV. STUDENT SELF-HELP. A limited number of work
assignments, valued at $100 or $200 per year, are given at the
discretion of the work scholarship committee to girls who are
worthy of a Christian education and must have additional finan-
cial help. These work assignments require various types of work,
such as dining room work, assisting instructors by typing and
grading papers, and working in the office, bookstore, and library.
Students are chosen for their work in accordance with their ability
to do the work well.
HOW TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP
Students wishing to apply for any of the above scholarships
should write to the President or the Registrar of the College, re-
auesting application blanks for the type of scholarship desired.
28 MONTREAT COLLEGE
SUMMER WORK. Employment is given to a number of
college students at Montreat during the summer months, and this
gives to many girls an opportunity to save money for college
expenses and, at the same time, enjoy Montreat conference life.
Anyone wishing to apply for summer work should write to the
President of the College and request a summer work application
blank.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
A great many very fine and worthy young women need some
kind of financial assistance to secure a college education. Mon-
treat earnestly desires to aid as many of these young women as
the funds available will permit. We are dependent upon friends of
Montreat who want to have a share in this splendid undertaking
of providing the finest of Christian education for these young
women.
Scholarships are given annually by individuals, Women of the
Church, Sunday Schools, Churches, and other organizations. We
believe that this number will rapidly increase as knowledge about
the Christian education provided at Montreat is more widely
known. We are sincerely grateful to all of those who in any way
make it possible for Montreat to aid these choice young women
as they work to make their way through college.

ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT
Statement Of Purpose
Montreat College, aware of the basic need for vocational and
professional training as an integral part of preparation for Chris-
tian living today, has developed an academic program that places
emphasis upon practical and vocational training.
Though the College places emphasis upon this vocational
training, it does not feel that such training is inconsistent with a
good general educational program. The school therefore attempts
to provide the students with the subject matter material and the
vocational skills required for successful Christian living.
Although we feel that the wisest organization for such a pro-
gram is to have degrees granted in major fields, it should be noted
that the study in the major field is only part of the total college
program, and that the vocational training is also a significant
part of it, and that the requirements for all degrees include em-
phasis on vocational and professional training.
We feel that our graduates should have sound training in the
traditional disciplines in which college graduates are expected to
have competence; we therefore require our students to take in
their first two years a prescribed course of study including work
in languages, science, mathematics, English, and history.
We believe, also, that a Christian college should concern
itself with Christian values; we therefore require all students to
take a course in Bible in each of the first two years, and we pro-
vide an academic environment in which the student is encour-
aged to approach all subjects in the light of the subject's relation
to Christian principles.
We further believe that a student needs to pursue one area
of study intensively, in order to learn the techniques of specializa-
tion and to gain special competence in one area; we therefore re-
quire that each student complete a minimum number of hours of
work in a major subject.
In addition to these phases of Montreat's program, we believe
that a part of each student's academic program should be especi-
ally worked out to meet the vocational, practical, and personal
needs of the individual student; we therefore provide for our
students to have a number of electives and directed electives
during their junior and senior years, these electives to provide
for practical and pre-professional courses as well as purely aca-
demic ones. These courses are so worked out that each graduate
of Montreat College is particularly fitted for a specific kind of
work.
30 MONTREAT COLLEGE
Admission
Students are admitted into the College in four categories: as
entering freshmen, as junior college graduates, as transfer stu-
dents with advanced standing, and as special students. The

warrants recommendation by the instuctor that she should enroll
in additional classes before meeting the minimum requirements in
physical education.
An incomplete grade on semester work may be removed by
repeating the course or by satisfactorily completing an additional
activity course recommended by the instructor.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
The Unit of Credit
The semester hour is the unit of credit. In most cases one
credit is allowed for each hour of recitation per week in each
course, and one credit for each two hours of laboratory per week,
per semester. The Description of Courses indicates how many
hours of credit are allowed for each course.
Quality Points
A minimum of 122 quality points is required for graduation,
and a minimum of 60 quality points is required for the two-year
business certificate. Quality points are awarded for class work,
34 MONTREAT COLLEGE
(except Physical Education Activity courses, for which no quality
points are awarded) according to the following system:
1 semester hour with a grade of A counts 3 points.
1 semester hour with a grade of B counts 2 points.
1 semester hour with a grade of C counts 1 point.
Students should consult the Student Handbook for informa-
tion regarding loss of quality points for excessive absences.
Re - examinations
A fee of $1.00 is charged for each re-examination and must
be paid at the business office before the re-examination can be
taken. Re-examinations must be taken when scheduled.

residence. The student may meet this expectation in either of two
ways: (1) by spending the entire senior year in residence, or (2)
by spending at least 42 of the last 60 hours in residence.
Dropping a Course
If, after the second week of the semester, a student drops a
course which she is not passing, she automatically receives a grade
of F. A student who drops a course in which she is making a pass-
ing grade will likewise receive a grade of F unless the Dean of
the Faculty recommends otherwise.
Report of Grades
A report of the student's work is mailed to the parent or
guardian at the end of each semester. A copy is also sent to the
student. At the middle of each semester, both parents or guard-
ians and the student are notified of any courses the student is
failing.

Honor certificates are awarded at commencement to those
students who meet the following requirements: receive a grade of
B or better on each subject each semester in academic subjects;

The Dean's List is posted at the end of each semester; it is
made up of those students who made a grade of at least B in every

Senior Class 90 semester hours and 90 quality points
ABSENCES
All excuses for absences of resident students from the campus
must be approved by the Dean of Students.
All excuses for absences from classes must be approved by the
Dean of the Faculty.
It is expected that students will not be absent without just
cause. The responsibility for any work missed because of absence
rests entirely upon the student.
In so far as absence affects a student's general standing in a
course, the instructor concerned may use his judgment in reducing
the student's grade, or in requiring her to make up work. See
Student Handbook for detailed information.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COLLEGE
Formal withdrawal from the College is arranged through the
office of the Registrar and must then be approved by the Dean
of Students. Such withdrawal becomes effective only when the
completed application is filed in the office of the Registrar.
TRANSCRIPTS
The College furnishes to the State Department of Education
free of charge all necessary reports concerning credits for certifi-
cates. One complete transcript, likewise, will be sent upon request
to another institution. A charge of #1 will be made for each ad-
ditional transcript sent out from the office. Under no circum-
stances, however, does the College send out official records to in-
dividuals, but only to other colleges, or to institutions generally
recognized as properly handling them.
